Oh. My. Gods. Cards Against Humanity is BRILLIANT! Seriously, go buy this game! It’s essentially the horrible person’s Apples to Apples. Ok, with some caveats: If you are the kind of person who finds dead baby jokes offensive, then do not get this game. If anyone asks you to play this game, slap them and… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #209 – Review: Cards Against Humanity
So, the concept art for White Wolf’s new product was released briefly on Tuesday, and I’d show it to you but apparently in the face of all the criticism flung its way, they’ve taken the gallery down. The gallery in question featured a bunch of apparently Photoshopped or traced over photos of runway models, with… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #208 – Body Shame in Nerd-dom.
I wasn’t sure what to expect with this novella. I hadn’t read any of Ms. Morrigan’s other stuff, but I got it at Norwescon and once I finished sobbing my eyes out at the third Hunger Games book, I piled into this one.

I started going to SF/F conventions many moons ago, when the earth was flat and computers were made of wood, as my buddy Chris always said. I was 18, I’d always been a geek, a little socially awkward, and into SF/F. My room-mate at the time was really into Cons, and convinced me to drive… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #206 – My Love Letter to Fandom

But the fact remains, there are games on Facebook, I am a gamer, I like games,… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #204 – I Review a Facebook Game
Jen has emerged from her long post-grad school hiatus, to give us a column! Everybody wave and say “Hi!” When the first Neverwinter Nights game came out in 2002, I played the hell out of it. Shadowlords, Dreamcatcher, and Penultima—I devoured the custom content, and I even had a stint as a beta tester for… Read More Bad Game Writing – A rare Jen-spotting
This month we have a really great interview with Tamora Pierce! She was an amazingly gracious interview, and a whole lot of fun to talk to. We talked about the paucity of active female heroines in YA literature particularly at the time she started writing, and why she writes the strong female characters she does… Read More Geek Girls Rule!
